commended him for raising $350,000. then it was found that the parks department had $54 million hidden in its own budget. >> it is no shame on them if they didn't know. >> reporter: more than enough to keep them open. >> i feel duped. >> reporter: unfortunately, the $54 million was found just after the preservation fund wrote a check to the state for $279,000. the volunteers want the money back. >> i think we should probably write to all of the donors and offer their money back. because it was gotten under false pretenses. >> reporter: the state says no can do. >> there is no mechanism right now in state law to have us refund money to the foundation. we have reached out to them. we would like to have a conversation with them about that. we would like to keep that partnership alive. >> they have never tried to reach us and there hasn't been any email contact either.

>> reporter: the briggs say the damage is done in trust and money. another $20 million that was pledged is evaporating. >> we had big donors lined up and we don't have them anymore as a result of this fiasco. >> reporter: if they can't get their refunds, the volunteer group wants a memorandum of understanding with the state that their money, the $279,000 they already wrote a check for, can only be used for henry coe state park. that was the presumption that a lot of people, allen, donated their money on. that's where nent the money to -- that's where they want the money to stay and they may need it at some point. >> the state legislature commended this group. where is the state legislature on this if there is no mechanism to refund the money. can't there be one put in place? >> reporter: there could be. someone could pass a bill or an addendum that allowed the statetake this money so this is

not the end of this. hopefully somebody out there will put that kind of a plan back into action so that these people -- these well meaning donors don't get duped. >> seems like the right thing to do. thank you, len. there was an outpouring of grief this morning for an east bay teacher who apparently killed himself. just days before the teacher was arrested on a charge that if proven could have ended his career. cbs 5 reporter cate caugiran on the investigation that now ends with his death.

people in the crowd were holding each other in tearful moments. the alameda county sheriff says he was found dead in a car yesterday of an apparent suicide. investigators are reviewing a note he left behind and plan an autopsy today or tomorrow. >> it's just mind-boggling that this had to come to this. and it's a shame, i guess. he just -- i guess he just thought he was going to lose all the stuff that he was doing. >> reporter: it was only last wednesday these parents were dealing with the news izumizaki was arrested on suspicion of committing a lewd act on a minor. police were investigating after one parent reported he had an inappropriate relationship with a former student. but these parents believed in izumizaki's innocence and that he succumbed to the pressure. >> nothing... we don't even not whole story. we don't even know. >> reporter: some parents say with izumizaki's untimely death, it's a story no one will truly know the answers to. in albany, cate caugiran, cbs 5. five homicide this is an

citizens have a right to attend. cbs 5 reporter joe vazquez is there. what can you tell us about what's going on right now? >> reporter: right now, take a look behind me. you can see several dozen demonstrators on the front steps of city hall. they are relatively calm. but inside, we're told it just got even more chaotic than it's been over the last half hour as the fire marshal just declared that it's unsafe so they are trying to disperse the crowd. these pictures taken about 20 minutes ago. these are folks who were trying to get into the city council chambers, couldn't get in and they are letting the police know that they're upset about it. some of these folks are family members of allen blue ford a man killed in an officer- involved shooting recently. they have been demanding a full police report. others were members of oakland "occupy" who shouted down members at the last city council meeting until they had to prematurely adjourn it. so today, city leaders devised this new security procedure. they essentially limited public attendance inside the council chambers by cutting off the balcony. they are not allowing people up on the balcony or gallery as

they call it. that cuts the crowd by half. now police are turning people away as folks here have been expecting some kind of trouble all day. >> i expect people to behave in a civil manner and allow us as elected officials do our job on behalf of the public. that's what i'm hoping for tonight, but i do believe there's going to be some disruption. so we are hoping to minimize that disruption and allow us to do the city's business. >> reporter: the city council meeting is proceeding as planned. but just outside the doors, there are confrontations with police. i wouldn't call them clashes right now but police are trying to shut down the cops standing guard right now. but police a couple dozen of them, there are about 100 protestors and more security guards here, as well. as for that report that i mentioned at the beginning of this from alan blueford's family they have been expecting the d.a. to release a report, the attorney representing the

family says the report was released within the last hour. we'll definitely bring you the details. suffice to say this started about a beef about that report but it has grown as the city council has decided to curtail and turn people away as folks have been trying to attend the meeting today. >> a lot of activity there, a lot of people with a lot of questions. joe, keep an eye on this for us. thank you. other bay area headlines the suspect arrested in the molestization of a 9-year-old girl at -- molestation of a 9- year-old girl at a san mateo school is connected to another case in daly city. several girls say they found a man in a bathroom taking pictures. after seeing his arrest in the san mateo case, a teacher identified bradley mrozek as the same man in the girls bathroom. a seagull is apparently to blame for sparking a house fire in berkeley. a 12,000 volt line snapped and fell into the front yard of a delaware street house this morning after the bird landed

arise here. now, with all due respect, you're talking a lot about public transportation. muni is not very good these days. that's not just an opinion. our transit system is on time little more than half the time. it's short 160 drivers. buses break down and can't make the runs, which go unfilled. >> i'm optimistic about this weekend? >> really? >> we are investing in the infrastructure which is the buses, the tracks, the trains, the traffic flow. and they are going to get better. >> reporter: this is the type of weekend lots of people get on muni for the first time and form opinions. muni is throwing everything it has at the weekend, which begs the question, if you can do it for a weekend, why can't you do it every day? >> because to sustain that level of activity, to sustain, you know, those ambassadors out on the street, all those extra vehicles, that's not sustainable. >> reporter: are you going to the game sunday? how are you getting there? [ inaudible ] >> reporter: you're driving?!

apparently word didn't get everywhere. how are you getting to the game? >> we carpool. >> reporter: carpool. >> yeah. >> reporter: might be the smartest way out there. have you heard the term munigeddon?

practice racing began at 4 p.m. competition is thursday through sunday. a bay area man is being recognized as a genius tonight. but he is also gaining ground across the country for coming up with a simple solution to the war on poverty. cbs 5 reporter john ramos reports his idea is getting national attention even from the white house. >> reporter: a man who works in this building in oakland has an idea to fight poverty that's so simple and obvious, it's called brilliant. they are calling you a genius. so are you a genius? [ laughter ] >> our standards are way too low if this genius. >> reporter: maurice miller has been awarded a macarthur foundation genius grant for creating the family independence initiative. they bring together low income people and then do something unusual for a social service agency. they don't try to help. they let the clients think for themselves. >> there are very few programs that let that happen. funding doesn't allow that. funding requires that the

organization of professionals intervenes. it starts with the other assumption. we start with, you know, if my staff intervenes, they're gone. >> reporter: that's right. he actually fired staff members who tried to offer advice. the point is to get people to come up with their own ideas on how to better their situations. working with the initiative inspired this woman to improve her life and now she's created her own nonprofit helping kids facing difficulties. >> it's not a handout. i believe that it starts with the person. you can have all the tools but you got to pick that tool up and work that tool out. >> we don't have a system that recognizes initiative. we only have a system that recognizes need. it sends the wrong message to have only one system. >> reporter: it's about getting people to trust and act on their own common sense and providing a system that offers resources to people who do. that seems like a simple idea. >> and sometimes, it is people who come up with the most simple things.

>> reporter: so he's a genius? >> i think so. i work with a genius. my mother said it takes one to know one. [ laughter ] >> reporter: genius it seems has a way of spreading. in oakland, john ramos, cbs 5. well, first it was the discover card, now american express is paying out a multi- million dollar refund, as well. cbs 5 consumerwatch reporter julie watts explains who is entitled to that money. >> reporter: well, some 250,000 people will all be getting a piece afternoon $85 million payout because the consumer financial protection bureau says amex used deceptive practices. now, that includes charging excessive late fees and discriminating based on age and telemarketers even trick some customers into signing up for a credit card by promising $300 they never got. who gets the refund? those customers who signed up for the sky blue along with others based on late fees and various products.

american express will automatically deposit the money into eligible accounts or send you a check if you no longer have a card with them. now, if you're one of those people who complains when the holiday commercials start running well before halloween, you may have noticed this year you're getting a little reprieve. thanks to election season, the holiday shopping season is getting a late start because retailers can't compete with those pricy political ads for air time. but you can be sure they will make up for it come late november. and the national retail federation is optimistic the late season push will be enough to drive holiday spending even higher than last year. the newly released holiday retail forecast estimates sales will total nearly $6 billion. and that's an increase of more than 4% over last year. and with more mobile and social options out there, consumers are also expected to do more holiday shopping online this year. online retailers like dana -- [ laughter ] >> -- are anticipated to boost those sales by 12%. you may have already seen some

of those online ads and advertisers clearly can't afford to advertise on tv. >> i have already started mine. >> yeah. >> dana has her shopping done.

in san francisco could soon be taken away. that's if nudists refuse to, shall we say, butt out of public plazas and busy streets. the measure that was introduced today calls for fines starting at $100. street fairs, parades, well, those are an exception. but there is other news. if the situation can resolve itself, the measure would be thrown out. so would people be fined for public nudity? should they be? take a survey on cbssf.com. thank goodness it's going to get colder. right, paul? [ laughter ] >> that should cut down on that particular issue. should it not? >> yeah. >> 92. >> you think? >> i guess there would be more of that. 67 degrees not so much. >> not so many. >> just doing the math. >> not going there. let's go outside. peek outdoors and show you a beautiful shot here of golden gate bridge the cars and bikers all thankfully fully clothed, it's live television. no marine layer to worry about, clear skies, 90s across the golden gate bridge and this

bay area just got approved. and first at 6:30, one of the strictest anti-smoking ordinances in the bay area just got approved. it severely restricts where people can light up including where they live. cbs 5 reporter ann notarangelo says, it is getting wide ranging support. >> and i find it offensive and i find it unhealthy, particularly if there are young children around. >> reporter: ever since irene curtis stopped smoking, she has hated breathing in someone else's smoke and in a community

where few people light up, there was more than enough support for the san rafael city council to approve a strict new antismoking law. >> the only person who spoke against it believes that it was it wasn't strict enough. >> reporter: even this smoker is for it. >> i don't mind the laws at all. you know, just because people smoke doesn't mean it's fair for other people who don't want to smoke, the secondhand smoke. >> reporter: the ordinance bans smoking in apartments, condos, parks, all sidewalks and pedestrian areas downtown, bus stops, restaurant patios, and even cautions against actors smoking on stage. one smoker says it's illogical. >> it's ludicrous. >> one person hasn't changed his ways. >> i think a lot of people are still going to smoke just because a lot of people are addicted to cigarettes. just because they are still >> reporter: the city says its goal is to improve public health and reduce litter. and litter is a big issue. in two months, one group collected 230,000 cigarette

butts which is why they won't ban ashtrays. it's okay to smoke on a sidewalk if you are walking. you just can't stay in one place. >> we're hoping that it's a self-enforced --that people will ask others to put out their cigarettes.al is not to have any heavy-handed enforcefment othis. >> reporter: they say that dispels any notion that this is a way for the city to raise money. they are not shy about admitting, if people quit smoking altogether, that's great. it's a city-endorsed shaming tactic. >> it's a little harder on us though because we do get in trouble if we smoke too close -- it's embarrassing. >> reporter: this ordinance will most likely take effect mid-november but landlords will have a full year to change the lease agreements and inform their tenants n san rafael, ann notarangelo, cbs 5. here we go. they're back! the blue angels are somewhere out there. [ laughter ] >> so fast -- oh, yeah, there they are. they look likely bugs on our screen but we have chopper 5

up. and there's one of the blue angels. they just arrived in the bay area. they came into sfo. they are here for fleet week. the navy's precision flight team is always a fleet week highlight. and, of course, new can't make it to fleet week saturday and sunday, they will be practicing over the bay thursday and friday. you'll hear the sound of freedom all over the bay area. and like i said, the air show is on saturday and sunday. so they have arrived. they're here and it's that time of year . >> if you don't see them, listen. you'll hear them. >> we have both flown with them. it's exciting. a christian legal group wants to overturn a new state law against conversion therapy. so it's suing. the law signed by governor brown over the weekend prohibits licensed mental health professionals from practicing therapies aimed at reversing homosexuality in

teenagers. sacramento pacific legal institute filed the suit on behalf of a pastor in san diego who says he benefited from the therapy. the lawsuit claims the law violates free speech. gay rights advocates say the therapy can psychologically harm gay and lesbian youth. they have been preparing for months. and tonight, the presidential candidates are fine-tuning their tactics ahead of their first face-off. tomorrow's debate in denver could help swing the election. cbs 5 political reporter grace lee explains, neither side wants to set the bar too high. >> reporter: that's right, dana. you want to underpromise and overdeliver especially for the first of the three presidential debates. it is considered by most pundits to be the most important because it sets the tone. and for once, both the president and the republican nominee agree on something. they are both trying to lower expectations. the stage is being set at the university of denver. the forecasts of the presidential candidates tomorrow evening will be on

domestic policies with a heavy emphasis on the economy. both sides are already spinning. >> while president obama's people are saying, hey, i have had no chance to prepare anything, mitt romney's people are saying, hey, president obama is the best debater ever and i have never been in a presidential debate. >> reporter: both the president and republican nominee are off the campaign trail today preparing for the debate. mitt romney was spotted tacking a break at a denver chipotle with his debate partner senator rob portman. this picture has been a hit on political blogs as part of a caption contest. as for the president, he is near las vegas today for his rehearsals with senator john kerry and was caught joking about them. >> basically they're keeping me indoors all the time. it's a drag. [ laughter ] >> they're making me do my homework. >> reporter: while both the president and romney appeared relaxed, there is a lot at stake for their first head-to-head battle. >> in any good debate, you want to have some things prepared in advance. you want to have memorable

lines, surprise your opponent and knock them off their feet, and you want to be remembered for something. >> reporter: the "new york times" reports that the romney camp has prepared him with a series of, quote, zingers he can use tomorrow night. romney will likely be walking a fine line while the president will have to avoid appearing smug or condescending. >> mitt romney really has to take on the president forcefully but realistically if he wants to change the narrative of this campaign. the word on the street amongst folks i know in washington is that president obama really does not think very much of governor romney. and he wants to keep that to himself in the debate. our coverage of the presidential debate begins tomorrow on eyewitness news at 5:00 and the "cbs evening news." then there will be full debate coverage at 6:00. in other campaign 2012 news, one key group of voters

appears to be breaking big for the president. the latest national cnn survey shows president obama has a huge lead among likely latino voters. 7 out of 10 said they will opt to reelect him. that is slightly higher than the 67% backing the president had from the same group in 2008. and democrats scored a big victory in pennsylvania today. a judge blocked the state's strict new voter id law from taking this election day. republican supporters say it would stop voter fraud. but democratic opponents argue it could keep elderly and minority voters away from the polls because some of them would not have time to get a validid. the law could still go into effect sometime next year. some voters have already cast their ballots. early voting began today in ohio. of course, a hotly contested swings state. both campaigns have get out the vote efforts going on there. and in a quinnipiac university bol redecemberred

today, it shows that it is still a close race among likely voters. the president is up 4 points nationwide but among the independent voters the people both sides are trying to win, romney is ahead by 2 points. >> thank you. a bay area egg producer getting some heat from an animal rights group saying customers are being duped by misleading packages showing happy chickens. cbs 5 reporter linda yee says customers deserves a refund. >> reporter: it all comes down to this picture a hen and her chicks pecking away in an open field on a carton of judy's organi eggs. they are accused of false advertising and they are being sued. >> the issue is whether consumers are deceived. the picture on the packaging depicts hens roaming about a green fields. >> reporter: they usually cost

a third more for organic. >> i look for that because i want, you know, an animal that is free and roaming free not in a cage. >> reporter: the animal rights group says that's exactly the misconception. at the farm, it's obvious the hens are not outside. >> if you look around, it speaks for itself. you see a series of sheds with thousands of hens inside them and look at the green fields and you don't see any one roaming scratching or playing out there. >> i always thought they were, you know, roaming free. that's why i chose to buy them. >> reporter: the owner of the egg farm said he would not comment until after he has read the lawsuit. a family member told me by phone that they never claimed their hens were free-range but that they were cage-free and have access to open fields. the class action lawsuit doesn't question whether the eggs are organic. it's about perception and the suit says people who pay extra for what they believed were truly free range eggs should
